Q: The addition of two numbers is m and their quotient is y/z. The two numbers are:
A. y, z B. my/z, mz/y
C. m/(y + z), m/(y – z) D. my/(y + z), mz/(y + z)

Answer and Explanation

Answer:my/(y + z), mz/(y + z)

Explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b.
Therefore, (a+b) = m; a/b = y/z
a = yx, b = zx
(a+b) = (yx + zx) = (y+z)x = m
Therefore, x = m/(y+z)
Hence, a = my/(y+z); b = mz/(y+z)
